Okay then -- which? How do they meet your needs, or fail to meet them?

Well, that and that pointlessly open-ended questions can only be 
expected to get pointless open-ended responses.

If you have *specific* questions, ask them.

If you have *specific* needs, clarify them.

If you have *specific* problems, state them.

If you just want to shoot the breeze about this, buy someone a beer and 
go discuss it at a pub somewhere. 

If you've already tried some things -- like searching CPAN -- then say 
as much so that we can narrow the conversation down to what's relevant.

People don't have time to respond with comprehensive theses to every 
random open-ended question that comes along on mailing lists.

If you want help, be concrete so that people can respond usefully.


So. You searched CPAN. Super. What, *specifically* do you want next?
